The Jackson Hole valley is one of the most beautiful and fascinating places on Earth, and there are endless things to do here. Every year, paddlers, kayakers, and whitewater rafters explore the wild and scenic Snake River, which runs through the valley. From the roaring rapids and calmer waters, you’ll see some of the gorgeous scenery and breathtaking wildlife that western Wyoming is known for.

For one of the best ways to spend a day on the Snake, head out on a float trip with Barker-Ewing, then head across the street for a great meal at Fiesta Mexican Restaurant in Jackson, Wyoming.
